Limbaugh Will Not Forgive Or Negotiate With Companies That Pulled Advertising

As advertisers keep joining in on the Rush Limbaugh boycott, one company only lasted
a week before it went back to the conservative talk show host
with its tail between its legs. But Limbaugh is not ready to
forgive and forget.

The funny thing is,
Sleep Train was the first advertiser to pull its ads from
Limbaugh's show. After receiving a slew of angry messages for
advertising on Limbaugh's show after he called a Georgetown law
student a "prostitute" for advocating for inclusion of birth
control in insurance plans, the mattress company Tweeted:

We don't condone negative comments directed toward any group. In
response, we are currently pulling our ads from Rush with Rush
Limbaugh.

Thank you for your requests last week and this week to restart
your voiced endorsement in local markets of The Rush Limbaugh
Show, Rush received your requests personally.

Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our
audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh’s
character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform
you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the
future.

Rush appreciates your long friendship and your past support, and
we wish you good luck in the future.

It looks like Limbaugh meant it when he told listeners, "Those
advertisers who no longer want your business, fine,
we'll replace them."

The West Coast mattress supplier had been advertising on Rush's
show for a quarter century and maintained a close relationship.

In a 2005 interview with the Sacramento Bee, the West Coast
mattress supplier's president remembered that when Limbaugh left
town for New York, "he said, 'The people you meet on the way up
are the people you meet on the way down. I'll always take care of
you.'"
